Heartland HOUSED

Heartland HOUSED is dedicated to transforming the landscape of homelessness in Springfield and Sangamon County, IL. As the backbone organization of the Heartland Continuum of Care, we develop strategic initiatives, support collaborative implementation efforts, and foster partnerships aimed at functionally ending homelessness. Aligned with the 2022-2028 Springfield & Sangamon County Strategic Plan, we strive to create a sustainable and inclusive community where everyone has access to safe and stable housing. Together, we are committed to driving impactful change and uplifting lives in our community. Our vision is to make the experience of homelessness in Sangamon County rare, brief, and non-recurring.

Heartland HOUSED is the lead agency for the Heartland Continuum of Care (HCoC), coordinating community-wide efforts to prevent and end homelessness across Sangamon County. We bring together nonprofit organizations, government agencies, healthcare providers, and community partners to improve access to housing, strengthen the homeless response system, and connect individuals and families with the resources they need to achieve stable housing.
